Project description:Between January 2021 and September 2021, a total of 5 pairs of adjacent normal tissues and CRC tumor tissues were collected at Suzhou Municipal Hospital. Written informed consent was secured from all participating patients prior to the commencement of the study. The study protocol, including all experiments, was reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee of Suzhou Municipal Hospital.
Project description:We collected the Superficial temporal artery (STA) tissues from patients with Moyamoya disease who underwent combined direct and indirect bypass surgery and patients with brain trauma requiring craniotomy in the Department of Neurosurgery, First Affiliated Hospital of USTC (Anhui Provincial Hospital). One part was fixed in 10% neutral formalin solution, and the other part was stored in a refrigerator at -80 ℃. All protocols using human specimens were approved by the ethics committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of USTC (Anhui Provincial Hospital). Written informed consent was obtained from all patients. All protocols were approved by the Institutional Review Board of the First Affiliated Hospital of USTC (Anhui Provincial Hospital).Total RNA was extracted from the STA tissues using Trizol reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer's protocol. The integrity and concentration of RNA were detected using an Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 system (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, Calif., USA), enriched and purified with Oligo (dT) -bearing magnetic beads. RNA sequencing was performed by Anoroad (Beijing, China).
Project description:This experiment is part of the FunGenES project (FunGenES - Functional Genomics in Embryonic Stem Cells partially funded by the 6th Framework Programme of the European Union, http://www.fungenes.org). The experiment was conducted at University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany. Goal of the experiment was RNA expression profiling in the first 10 days of differentiation in CGR8 cells. Materials and methods: CGR8 cells were cultivated as EBs without addition of selective reagents in hanging drop cultures in a timecourse experiment. After 7 days, EBs were plated in gelatin-coated 6-well plates. RNA was prepared from ES cells (day 0), EBs (day 1 to 7) and plated EBs (day 10). Culture conditions: ES cells were differentiated via hanging drop protocol into embryoid bodies. RNA isolation method: The RNA isolation was carried out following standard methods (on column, RNeasy Mini kit, Qiagen)
